Greentop Crumbs.

Everybody is busy in the har-
vest field.
The prospect for a bountiful
corn crop never was more hatter-
ing in this part of the country
than at the present time; the rains
that have fallen in the last few
weeks and the warm weather fol-
lowing are the things necessary
for corn.
The oat crop is going to be a
much better yield than people
supposed sometime ago.
Chas. Winfree is in Chicago
visiting his sister.
Mrs. G. B. Owen, who has been
visiting in Kansas for some time
returned home few day ago and
at the present time is quite sick.
Died Friday morning, July the
Sth, 1887, little Susie; daughter of
John and Ella Heaveline. Like
some ruthless hand that snatches
from its parent stem the rose that
has just begun to bloom, so death
has snatched this little child bud,
from its parent hossom, and con-
signed it to the silent tomb. To
the deeply afflicted parents we
would commend these words of
the Savior, Suffer little children
and forbid them not, to come unto
me; for of such is the Kindom of
Heaven.
Greentopers celebrated all
around the 4th, some going to
Queen City, some to Wilmathville
and some to KirksvilIe.
W. A. McKeehan tells us he is
going to move to Kansas sometime
next month. We predict Billie
will come back to good old Mis-
souri,, after he has experienced
some of the disadvantages of the
country to which he is going.
Mr.. Robert Fisher has return
ed to Ohio, having been called
backby the sickness of his mother.
1t is being whispered, slyly,
thai there is going to be a we'd.
ding in the little burg soon. We
hope nothing will happen to pre-
vent the consumation of the affair.
Mr.. G.. W. Fisher is at home
cultivating the acquaintance of a
fine daughter.
Evans French has never been
able to walk since hurting himself
last February. 1t is feared he
will always be a cripple.
Mr.. Miller has put new roof
on his barn.
Mr.. E. Owens has been repair
Ing and remodeling his hotel con-
siderably.
Since every one is improving
and identifying their homes, and
improvement seems to be the or
der of the day, let some one circu-
late subscription paper and en-
deavor to raise means sufficient to
buy paint to paint the church. As
it is, it stands as monument of
to the whole town. Come
now, let some one put the ball roll
ling; all it trequires is a little ener-
gy. UNCLE Tom.

A REVEREND FRAUD.
A Bibulous Eccleslast Does up the
Good People About Memphis
and Pleasant Retreat.

There came to Memphis some
weeks ago lank and attenuated
looking rooster by the name of
Elder Williams, who claimed to be
soldier of the cross and minis
ter of the Gospel. He was for the
nonce an elder of the Christian
church and the hospitable mem
bers of that denomination here
made him welcome and invited
him to preach. He had good
audience but he emptied the house
in less than half an hour and the
fraud was 30 apparent that not
one stayed to invite him to stay
all night and he went to a hotel.
He next essayed to raise the wind
by lecturing. He now eliminated
himself from the horizon of
Memphis for week or more, but
suddenly turned up and announced
himself doctor of medicine. He
had thus in one short week
switched off as healer of souls,
and became a healer of bodies, of
men. He stated that he was a
graduate of a Galveston medical
school and registered with the
county clerk as a physician. He
said he had purchased the prac-
tice of DIR. 2. A. Neel at Pleasant
Retreat along with his stock of
drugs. He ordered letter heads,
envelopes, cards, etc, printed and
said he would pay for them soon.
All this time he was soaked
through with whisky and smelled
like sod corn distillery. His
face was rubicund and his breath
would have stopped clock. His
habilaments were shabby and his
general air so suspicious that the
Democrat concluded not to be in
a hurry about doing his printing.
The news comes from Pleasant
Retreat that he has swindled a
number of people. He purchased
a buggy and horse from Charles
Gray for sl25 giving Alfred Petit
and Jos. Donaldson as securities.
He borrowed case of instruments
from DR.. Jas. Risk, buggy
and books of DR.. Neel, |
various articles from other people, |
and on the natal day of the nation
lifted his tent and skipped. He
leaves among his other unpaid |
bills drug account at Leach's of |
SIS and bills at other places.
This doxelogy enunciator and
Gospel mill pretender bore about
with him, beside the odor of strong
drink, an air of rank fraud which
/ his pretense of sanctity could NOT
hide. He is seven octave tramp
rom Texas, dense crook without
! redeeming trait. He "crimped"
he livery of heaven to serve the
ievll in and he has torn up the
'aek all who put faith in him. he
vii be pursued and brought back.
